“Had Canker Sores, Now Invisalign Doesn't Fit!”

Updated 22 Oct 2009
Posted 20 Oct 2009
Not Sure
Spent: $5,000 in NJ

When I was young, I chipped my teeth and had bondings. To prepare my mouth for permanent caps, my dentist suggested Invisalign to make more room. So I thought "Why not?"

Here are a few pointers:

-You MUST wear your aligners religiously!
-You can use a nail file to get rid of sharp edges
-Keep them clean
-Remove them before eating
-Don't lose them!!!

I am on my last tray of Invisalign before the maintenance tray is made. I had terrible canker sores after a cold and couldn't wear the top tray. Now, it doesn't fit without pain in one of my front top teeth. Do I grin and bear it or get a new tray(s) made? My dentist is going to kill me!!!
